Environmental & Nature

Core principle of Capital Smart City is sustainability, as the master plan emphasizes eco-friendly design, smart water management systems and efficient waste disposal and recycling systems to minimize environmental impact and integration with major transport corridors to reduce carbon footprints. Over 30% of the city’s land is dedicated to green belts, parks, and natural landscapes, including the development around Crystal Lake and the Hills Vista.

Smart City

Capital Smart City Islamabad is a technologically advanced urban development incorporating smart infrastructure such as automated traffic control, intelligent security surveillance with facial and object recognition. Infrastructure includes underground wiring for electricity, gas, and water, eliminating unsightly overhead cables and ensuring uninterrupted 24/7 utility supply (a load-shedding-free environment). It includes Automated Traffic Control, a dedicated BRT System, and the use of electric bikes and vehicles for efficient, low-carbon mobility.

Human-Centric

The city is human-centric, focusing on creating a liveable environment with diverse neighbourhoods, residential and commercial zones, and community facilities that promote wellbeing, security, and inclusivity.
